Founded in 2019, Darby Electric achieved early success and began taking on increasingly larger projects. Heather and her husband, Mark, quickly learned about the challenges faced by a successful electrical subcontractor.
In the summer of 2023, they found themselves working on Trinity Basin Preparatory Academy, a significant project that was three months behind schedule before even breaking ground. The need for reliable temporary electricians became evident. "Other temporary agencies reached out to us but weren't able to actually get people out when needed," Heather recalled, emphasizing the challenges they faced.
"When we were three months behind schedule before even breaking ground, other temporary agencies reached out but weren't able to actually get people out when needed," Heather recalled. This sentiment is unfortunately the prevalent challenge many contractors face with traditional staffing solutions. Luckily, Buildforce was able to help.

With Buildforce, everything changed. While other agencies made promises they couldn’t keep, "Buildforce has actually been able to fulfill our demand" Heather emphasized, contrasting Buildforce's commitment to other agencies full of false promises. Over the course of their partnership, Buildforce has consistently met Darby's staffing needs, ensuring projects like the Trinity Basin Preparatory Academy stay on track and uphold Darby's high standards.
One of Darby's core values is "Craftsmanship," and maintaining this standard was paramount. “The quality of work was on par with our own guys… it allowed us to deliver a good product to our customer," she added, emphasizing the company's role in Darby's success.
"Customer experience is the best I've experienced in any field, any arena for any service or product at all." Heather's words resonate with the unparalleled service that Buildforce delivers. It's not just about providing electricians; it's about ensuring a seamless, top-tier experience that truly sets Buildforce apart from the rest. This commitment to excellence is what makes Buildforce not just a service provider, but a trusted partner in the field.
The digital experience offered by Buildforce also stood out, providing transparency and real-time updates on staffing. Heather appreciated how much easier the process of approving hours became with Buildforce. "Approving hours with Buildforce is 100x easier" Heather noted, emphasizing the simplicity of the process.
